Saints sign James Laurinaitis

FYI... Laurinaitus played most of last year with a pretty bad elbow injury.
His run defense grades were the worst of his career.

Lets hope he heals up and gets back to his pre-2015 form. If so, its a great signing.

I really hope that's the reason he was so bad. If not, we're screwed.

I've got mixed emotions about this signing. A lot of indicators are pointing to his decline but a change of scenery and good health might be just what the doctor ordered. I feel cautiously optimistic.
I just worry that Anthony might be less effective playing another position. You know we have a penchant for the square peg-round hole scenario.

Actually, the theory that we can just move a player and make it work hasn't paid off that well. Cam Jordan has played well wherever we put him but he's the exception more than the rule. If we are going to draft someone to play a position then do it!

I don't trust any player with a last name that I have to google to learn how to spell. But we shall see...
